Comedian Park Na-rae Confidently Predicts She Will Marry First

Comedian Park Na-rae expressed her confidence that she will be the first to get married.

On the 18th, the first episode of the YouTube channel 'Narae-sik' was released under the title 'Narae, did you call me for this?'.

In the episode, Park Na-rae said, 'Many celebrities, famous personalities, and celebs who wanted to come to Narae Bar, please come and enjoy free drinks and food. I will make sure you are not disappointed,' raising expectations.

The first guest was her close friend Han Hye-jin. Park Na-rae explained to Han Hye-jin, 'I created 'Narae-sik' because I wanted to serve food and drinks in my own style, the Narae style.'

Park Na-rae showcased a special meal prepared with croaker fish directly sourced from Mokpo, including croaker ceviche, croaker pancakes, croaker rice, and croaker soup, displaying her exceptional cooking skills. Han Hye-jin was full of admiration after tasting the dishes.

The two friends elevated the atmosphere with their candid and unfiltered conversation. Park Na-rae reminisced, 'We were both 32 when we first met. Do you remember how energetic we were?' Han Hye-jin responded, 'As you get older, you live by reminiscing about the past.' They shared that they initially thought it would be hard to become close but bonded over their shared passion for their work.

They also mentioned 'Yeonpa,' a show they did with Hwasa. Han Hye-jin recalled, 'I didn't want to go that far. It was a stressful content for me. I don't like to be ruined,' but added, 'But you liked it, so I did it,' touching Park Na-rae.

Park Na-rae confessed, 'I feel like I haven't hit it big with comedy. I don't have any catchphrases, and I can't do impressions, which isn't everything for a comedian, but I wanted to succeed with funny skits. 'Yeonpa' was a huge fulfillment for me.'

The two also openly discussed their thoughts on dating and marriage. Han Hye-jin asked Park Na-rae, 'It's just you, me, and Kian left. Who do you think will get married first?' Without hesitation, Park Na-rae replied, 'Me,' drawing attention. Han Hye-jin then shot back, 'You keep saying that, but why aren't you getting married?' to which Park Na-rae humorously responded, 'It's not like it happens just because I want it to.' Han Hye-jin added, 'You shouldn't lie on TV about meeting men,' causing laughter.

Han Hye-jin also bombarded Park Na-rae with questions about her dating life, asking, 'Have you ever dated someone older?' and 'Was it a senior comedian?' Park Na-rae candidly admitted, 'I wanted to date a celebrity,' and then turned the tables by asking, 'How is it to date a celebrity?' Han Hye-jin nonchalantly replied, 'It's nothing special,' but soon showed a comical angry reaction.

Finally, Park Na-rae surprised Han Hye-jin with a special event to celebrate her 25th anniversary. She prepared a cake and drinks with the message 'Top Hye-jin, keep going for another 25 years.' Park Na-rae expressed her joy, saying, 'I'm so happy to celebrate your 25th anniversary with you,' deeply moving Han Hye-jin.
